I'm thinking about getting back to school on September 24 and I really want to grow something. Is this a lost cause? I want vegetables that aren't from Whole Foods! Also, would I kill my chances of growing anything by going home for winter break (2.5 weeks)? Maybe I could MacGuyver a watering system...

I wouldn't suggest using that unit for tomatoes, but it is awesome for greens. You can grow up to 4 plants, and since it isn't that big, you really wouldn't need anything more than a small CF or plain florescent system. Another suggestion is starting a co-op at school and having a bunch of people help.

My school let a garden club put in a garden plot on some far flung campus locale. you could try to found a club like this!

Aaahh. COmpletely forgot about this thread. Thanks for the ideas. We have a community garden type thing, but it's really hard to get spots and is all dry and sandy. What should I grow other than the obvious herbs and such?
